Isn't a good chunk of Penn. and New York north of 3-Mile?

Yes, but I suppose some good could come of it if we dosed Ithaca. But please not Lake George...

Releasing effluents to Canada is really off the scale on the Ridiculous Meter. Even a crude model for dispersion would show that you're down into the attocurie per cubic gigaparsec concentration range for the TMI source term, within a few tens of miles of the release point. I doubt that the thought of Canada as a measurable dose zone ever crossed the minds of any accident analysts or emergency planners.

Pretending for a moment that some of us are not scientists, that's a very low range, I take it?
